Original Message Air Methods does use National Pool pilots. Basically, you cover bases that have a need for long term relief while they hire for that base. They try to schedule you to work 7 on and 7 off at that base, week after week. You will travel to that base they day before and generally fly home the day after your 7 day shift ends. Travel days are paid at the OT rate. So, generally, you will work a 9/5 schedule. Once that position is filled, off to the next base that has a need for a long term relief. You get paid the ACCRA of Denver, 110% I believe, for your straight time. Now, you serve at the needs of AMC, so anything goes with the schedule. However, they try not to screw you over to much. You are a union pilot so everything in the contract applies to you, just like a "base" pilot. You can also email a pilot recruiter in Denver and they will be more than happy to fill you in on the position so you can make an informed decision. Good luck. |
